The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 79 Riding on the Waves (Happy New Year!)

Lead-gray clouds filled the sky.

The cold wind wrapped the snow flakes and fell, mixed with water mist and condensed into a dark curtain.

The airboat was rippling in the waters of Jinghu Lake. Yu Ke was sitting on the edge with a golden sword, holding a long bow in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the "boiling" water in front.

Facts have proved that the ferocious beasts that can be spotted by hunting groups are of extraordinary value, and their bones and flesh are extremely effective even if they are used to "make nests".

The gathering of fish attracts predators, and the predators themselves become new bait.

As long as the giant swamp beast discovered by the Yalang Hunting Group is still in this water area, it will definitely be attracted by this movement.

Yu Ke half-closed his eyes and concentrated on spreading out his senses.

The spiritual awakening quality brought about by the [Investigator] profession allowed Yu Ke to truly come into contact with some indescribable spiritual powers. His perception of himself was no longer completely laissez-faire, but could be controlled to a certain extent.

This feeling is mysterious and mysterious, but one thing is certain. Compared with before, Yu Ke can concentrate on detecting the movements in a certain area in more detail.

a moment.

The water flow in the southeast direction was obviously turbulent, and the area affected was far wider than any predator Yu Ke had observed so far.

Coming?

Yu Ke decisively turned sideways, holding a bow in his left hand and reaching into the water with his right hand.

Almost at the same time, a black shadow rose into the sky where a large group of fish gathered. Water splashed everywhere, and at the same time, a wave of water nearly two meters high spread to the surrounding area.

Yu Ke, who was well prepared, immediately used the characteristics of volt waves to control the water flow. All waves approaching the airboat were forcibly suppressed two meters away, and calm was restored at an extremely fast speed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Ke's eyes locked on the figure through the curtain of falling water and minced meat.

What catches the eye is still the iconic long neck, rough blue-grey skin, and vaguely weird stripes with heterochromatic phosphorescence, which should be mutations caused by the spread of infection. Looking further up is the distant star. It is similar to a python, but actually has a fundamentally different head.

The top of the head was bare and hairless, but it had wrinkled and rough hard skin. Although the head was small, the mouth was huge, and the cone-shaped teeth in the mouth were biting and tearing back and forth a water beast the size of a wild boar.

Yu Ke's gaze did not stay on the head for too long, and soon turned to the huge body of the giant beast still hidden deep in the water.

According to the findings of the Yalang Hunting Group, the back of this giant water beast should have undergone large-scale deformation. Yu Ke must confirm whether it was caused by infection or an abnormal mutation caused by Pandora's parasitism.

At this time, the swamp monster has begun to dive again.

While controlling the wave, Yu Ke noticed the large patches of colorful flowers floating on the water. He discovered that the shape of this giant beast was somewhat like a plesiosaur from ancient times, but he could not see whether there were fins under the water.

Observing the body of the giant beast as long as possible, Yu Ke watched the giant beast swallow the water beast whole. Realizing that it was about to return, he immediately frowned and without saying anything, he aimed at the eye socket of its head and shot an arrow.

All the bait, bones and meat that the hunting group can provide are here. It was finally possible to lure this giant beast out of the swamp. Yu Ke will not miss this opportunity. Not only must he find out its condition, but he must also unite with the hunting group behind to get it out. Get rid of it.

From a distance of more than ten meters, the arrow arrived in the blink of an eye and hit the giant beast's left eye directly, causing cyan liquid to splash.

The pain caused it to fly into a rage. It turned its head to look at Yu Ke who suddenly attacked it, and roared angrily. The minced meat of the water beast was mixed with the smelly and sticky saliva of the giant beast and spat at Yu Ke.

It was at this time that information about it poured into Yu Ke's mind.

Aberrant beast: A swamp monster that mutated due to Pandora's infection. It is extremely aggressive and is good at launching surprise attacks from deep water. It has accumulated a large number of infection sources in its body.

Yu Ke, who had successfully aroused the hatred of the giant beast, did not hesitate at all after confirming the opponent's identity. He directly used the characteristics of volt waves to control the turning of the airship, turned the propeller power to the maximum, and began to move closer to the location of the members of the hunting group.

The giant beast with an injured left eye was not willing to let Yu Ke go. With a roar, it lowered its head and charged at Yu Ke.

By checking for leaks and filling in the missing traits, Yu Ke was able to determine that this giant beast did not have extraordinary abilities. This made him somewhat relieved. If the other party could control the water flow like the Qishui Monkey King, it might not be that easy for him to go back. .

In fact, extraordinary abilities are never so easy to obtain.

Whether it is the Jinghorn Deer King or the Qishui Monkey King, they are undoubtedly the kings of the tribe, and the Shadow Moon Leopard is the overlord on the outskirts of the Mirror Lake Forest.

Of course, the lack of extraordinary abilities does not mean that this monster is weak. Its huge body is an extremely terrifying weapon.

After adjusting the direction, Yu Ke allowed the airboat to carry him towards the direction of the forest area. At the same time, he bent his bow and arrows, constantly shooting arrows at the deformed beast, suppressing its movements while allowing it to pursue him. , and will not give up halfway.

Opening the communication channel, I was about to inform the members of the hunting group about the situation when I heard Hu Yingjie shouting anxiously,

"Yu Ke, we saw that giant beast. How are you doing now? Do you need us to come and help?"

This is not a polite statement.

I just saw Yu Ke talking to the patrol leader in person. In Hu Yingjie's eyes, Yu Ke is a very important figure in the forest defense bureau. If he is compromised here, he doesn't know how much trouble it will cause in the future.

"You keep your formation, don't worry about me, wait until the distance is close before fighting."

Yu Ke looked at the giant beast that was constantly looking for an angle to knock over the airship. He spoke calmly and raised his hand to shoot another arrow.

It doesn't mean to cause much damage, it just aims at the neck of the giant beast to make its pain continue.

After several attempts to get closer failed, the giant beast seemed to have given up on the pursuit, turning around and diving into the water regardless of the arrows that penetrated its flesh.

Yu Ke knew its intention very well, which was simply to dive deep into the water and then launch an attack.

For this swamp behemoth, victory is almost certain as long as the target is dragged into the water.

Frankly speaking, Yu Ke really has no way to deal with this sudden attack from deep water. He can only speed up the airboat and control the water waves to push it forward and quickly approach the shore.

Soon the outline of the dense forest ahead gradually became clear, and the distance was only about two to three hundred meters.

The giant beast obviously would not let Yu Ke get close to the dense forest area and was waiting for an opportunity to intercept him. Yu Ke, who was highly focused, immediately noticed the huge black shadow suddenly rising from the bottom of the airship, and his preparations came in handy at this time.

Because Hu Yingjie had helped store backpacks, coats and other sundries in advance, Yu Ke jumped up as soon as he had a premonition that the giant beast was about to attack, took the initiative to break away from the airship with his weapons, and jumped into the swamp.

The benefits of high perception are most vividly reflected at this moment.

Almost at the same time that Yu Ke fell into the water, the airboat was flipped upside down by the giant beast that suddenly rose up.

Thanks to the special materials, if it were replaced by an ordinary wooden boat or rubber boat, the impact alone would be enough to completely scrap it.

This was far from the end. The giant beast that resurfaced bit the airship like it was venting its anger, piercing the airship with its fangs. Its eyes filled with chaotic colors kept shaking. It found that the human who attacked it was no longer on top, and it turned to the airship again. The airship flew away directly.

Just as he was thinking about where the guy had escaped, he felt severe pain in his neck again. He lowered his eyes and searched, only to find that the man was standing on the water and continuing to shoot arrows at it. Multiple arrows shot out and penetrated the flesh.

Such a provocation caused the already angry giant beast to fall into madness. The long and narrow stripes on its neck burst out with heterochromatic phosphorescence from bottom to top. The flippers hidden under the water slapped the water, causing a wave to capsize towards Yu Ke.

Immediately, without waiting for the wave to subside, a torrent of chaotic colors was sprayed straight towards Yu Ke's position.

Although this monster itself does not have extraordinary abilities, the injection of chaotic colors gives it special abilities on another level, which is far more powerful than ordinary extraordinary beasts.

Everything touched by this torrent of chaotic colors, whether it was snow or water, showed a strange phosphorescence, like water contaminated by chemical reagents, filled with a disgusting greasy feeling.

Yu Ke was prepared for this.

From the moment his whole body entered the water, he suddenly realized that the properties of dark blue volt waves were far more mysterious than he had imagined.

Because he obtained this extraordinary ability from Qishui Monkey King, Yu Ke always subconsciously imitated the former. However, in fact, their body shapes and fighting methods are different, and the application of Fubo characteristics should also vary depending on the person. different.

Just because the Qishui Monkey King, which weighs dozens of tons, cannot be supported by a swamp, it does not mean that even Yu Ke will sink when he enters the water.

Stomping his right foot lightly on the lake, the wave in front of him suddenly subsided, and then a new wave rose under his feet, carrying Yu Ke away from the giant beast.

Continuously dodging the erosion of the torrent of chaotic colors, Yu Ke walked on the waves in a skating manner. Every time the giant beast approached, a wave would exert force under his feet, accelerating to take him out of danger.

Being in a vast swamp, Yu Ke didn't feel at all confused about being in a strange environment, and even felt particularly at ease!

The arrows in his hand were fired continuously, causing wounds to the giant beast in front of him again and again. Yu Ke relied on his small size and fast speed, and he was on the water, which was called his home field. He could deal with this giant beast very easily. It keeps leading to dense forest areas.

The giant beast that was provoked one after another had already lost its mind and rushed forward regardless, vowing to crush Yu Ke to death.

This scene was seen by the members of the hunting group at the edge of the dense forest, and they were all dumbfounded.

They knew that Yu Ke, who could shoot a series of hunting diary videos, was very strong, but they didn't know how strong he was.

The sight in front of you is the best explanation of the word powerful!
With one person's strength alone, he was able to withstand the continuous attacks of the giant beast in the swamp, but he still had the energy to guide it towards the trap at the edge of the dense forest.

"He is indeed a strong man who dares to chase the Hunter-faced Owl in a blizzard, with this method of riding the waves."

Hu Yingjie held a telescope in his hand and fixed his gaze on Yu Ke, who was speeding on the water. He was amazed and at the same time thinking about what kind of extraordinary ability Yu Ke had awakened.

"The monsters are arriving soon, ready to fight!"

Yu Ke's voice came out from the communication channel, accompanied by the sound of waves.

Looking back at the distance between the dense forest area and himself, Yu Ke loosened his clenched left hand into a fist, and the condensed water column beside him also dissipated, and then accelerated towards the dense forest area to join the other members of the hunting group.

This is not a one-person hunt. Yu Ke knows that more than one person is paying attention to the situation here.

It's obviously not a good idea to reveal all your abilities in front of outsiders. Yu Ke has never thought of taking down the giant swamp beast alone.

Even if you unite so many people to assist in the battle, there is a high probability that the system will gain less experience.

Be aware that Pandora is most likely lurking nearby.

Exhausting a lot of physical energy without restraint now will only make the battle that may break out later more difficult.

Not to mention that Yu Ke had just fought a battle with Qishui Monkey King not long ago, and his physical strength has not yet fully recovered.

Riding the wave back to the dense forest area, Yu Ke jumped onto the roots of the giant tree, turned to look at Hu Yingjie and others, not far behind him was the giant water beast chasing after him, and reminded loudly,
"Pay attention to the beam of light it spits out from its mouth, and definitely don't get involved!"

"Understood, brothers, it's up to us."

The leader of the Yalang Hunting Group nodded solemnly, then raised his hand and made a gesture to say hello,

"The non-extraordinary ones retreat to provide long-range support. Pay attention to maneuver. We will use guerrilla tactics to kill it!"

A-level hunting groups have become famous by hunting tiger-level ferocious beasts. If nothing else, they will never back down if they dare to come here.

The battle is about to break out.

Yu Ke, who had led the swamp beast here, retreated to a safe area, took a breath, and turned his gaze to the hunting leaders beside him, observing their movements and wanting to understand their extraordinary abilities.

So far, the only extraordinary person Yu Ke has come into contact with is Anseli, and he only had a glimpse of his abilities and didn't know much about them.

To be able to become the leaders of the A-level hunting group, the three people in front of them represent the high-end combat power of the extraordinary people in the Danhang area.

This is undoubtedly a great opportunity to learn about extraordinary combat power.
